  • Make sure that all memory modules are the same part number, brand, model, and rank.

  • Make sure that each memory module is installed in the correct DIMM slot on the system board.

    Note:

    You must install either two or four memory modules at a time. You cannot install only one or three memory modules, because that configuration is not supported.

    • If you are installing two memory modules, install them in slot DIMM1 (B) and slot DIMM1 (D).

    • If you are installing four memory modules, install them in slot DIMM0 (A), slot DIMM1 (B), slot DIMM0 (C), and slot DIMM1 (D).
